At 33.4 tons, it is almost 25% lighter than the AGE-1 Normal. The Spallow was developed to counter the UE's high speed xvv-xc Zedas. The introduction of lighter parts and vernier/attitude control thrusters allows the Spallow to achieve mobility unprecedented in the history of MS. Its speed is at least as great as that of the Zedas, and its "Shigiru Blade" short sword has even greater cutting power than the Zedas sword, cutting through its blade with barely any effort. In order to reduce its chances of being detected, it was not given any beam weapons.
